I aren't either .If truck liveries are in direct connection with the race-car (and updated) from year to year, then I expect Marussia to have a lot more white than last year. Or not...but anyway we would need some white, the colors this year are pretty much on the dark side, when did Darth Vader become chief painter for these guys?

With regards to the Sauber it may just be that the livery was a bit late being done and that this is the #2 car (the #1 car being the one you already saw). IIRC when Sky did a bit about how the cars are painted it takes a good few days.

On the other hand it could be last years car with a few 2013 parts to get an idea of how effective the new parts are. After all the 'core' of the car is likely very similar.

This image goes very well with the Petronas ads. What better way to reimagine energy than to set the whole car on fire?

Now, about the Mclaren's rear, kind of weird finish of the rear wing, like it was crumbled by a cat, probably How has something to do with it. Also, what's with the welding points around the upper holes? was it supposed to be some sensors there which got knocked out before the photo was taken?

The Ferrari's is below the top of the diffuser, the Brawn's (uh, Merc's) is above making it a small double-decker diffuser?

Wasn't that the issue back in 2009? The other teams thought they had to keep all openings below the diffuser top line, but a few teams found a loophole allowing a higher opening under the crash structure? Thought they'd closed that loophole.

Thanks, I may be some kind of idler here, but i regularly read all stuff technical about the cars, so it just caught my eye...

It is kinda similar to the diffuser Toyota had. I wonder if FIA will fix the loophole. Also, while this does give more volume at the output, what is happening with air input? I cant remember if 2009 toyota had air fed separately onto 2nd deck of diffuser or if Red Bull was first to start with that?

Toyota :

Red Bull : notice the 2nd deck air intake just before rear wheels near the plank on both sides
